The aspirational opener to David Dallas' third studio album, “The Wire” sees him declare that he will continue trying and taking risks and encourages others to do the same.

An excerpt from NZ Herald:

Ruby Frost features on two of the tracks – the first time Dallas has worked with a female singer other than Aaradhna, and Frost’s first outing since her judging stint on The X Factor NZ.

I saw her on X Factor and thought, ‘this is mad, I need to jump on this little wave’,“ Dallas laughs. "Nah, I feel like that’s what people are going to say, but we actually worked on those two songs last year. They’re actually the oldest songs on the project.”

The collaboration came about when a friend of Dallas' suggested she might be a good fit, after meeting Frost’s manager at the gym, and the pair agreed to link up. “The first idea she sent me was a song called The Wire, a track of her singing over some piano which she’d programmed, kind of a skeleton, real simple. I thought it was really captivating, but the style didn’t fit with what we were doing, so I asked if she could send me the separate parts, and if she’d mind if I got Fire & Ice to take what she’d done and shape it into something that would fit with the album.”
